 Terebene is used as a substitute for oil of turpentine, as a 

 stimulating expectorant, and is likewise prescribed as an 

 antiseptic and carminative in flatulence, and as a genito- 

 urinary stimulant. Terpin hydrate increases bronchial' 

 secretion and is employed in both acute and chronic bron- 

 chitis. Oil of turpentine has been found beneficial in ver- 

 minous bronchitis of calves and lambs* (caused by Strongulus 

 micrurus and filaria), injected into the trachea midway in 

 the neck, according to the following prescription :

 cardiac stimulant and hsemostatic. It is said to have been 

 exhibited in parturient fever and apoplexy of cattle with 

 success. Bleeding from the nose, lungs, digestive tract, 

 uterus, kidneys, and bladder, and haemorrhages occurring in 

 purpura hemorrhagica, are sometimes stopped by the inter- 

 nal use of turpentine. 



Genito- Urinary Tract. — Oil of turpentine is indicated as 

 a stimulant in amenorrhoea, chronic pyelitis and cystitis. 

 The drug is contra-indicated in acute inflammation of the
